Cloud Access Key
Also: AWS access key, cloud credentials
A long-lived credential that lets code call a cloud provider's APIs as an account or user.
In more detail
Keys like AWS AKIA... identifiers pair with a secret that grants whatever permissions the user has. Leaked in logs or code, they are found and abused within minutes. Rotate the key, review the provider's activity log and prefer short-lived roles over long-lived keys.
